The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Dynamically reorder displayed rows of DB data on page

Asked by billgeo in Active Server Pages (ASP), JavaScript

Tags:

I've been tasked to develop a page that lists some number of rows of data from a DB table with that list shown in priority order (a column in record) and then allow the user to change that priority. When the user changes a priority the list should change (re-order) accordinly. The database should not be updated when the list is reordered but only when the user is completed and clicks the SAVE button. Someone mentioned Netflix and how it displays a users priority listing of movies. I'm not familiar with Netflix but I believe I understand the concept.
The application is written in ASP and we use SQL Server 2005.
I'm thinking I could manhandle something together but being new to this world of web development (see background below) I would like to learn the best approach to this.
My thoughts were maybe;
  * creating some type of temporary table that I could update and reSELECT with an ORDER BY on the priority and then save the TEMP table's records to the real table when SAVE clicked.
  * Maybe a Javascript to do this but I'm not aware of how to pass all the displayed rows to the script.
  * have it call another .asp program to manhandle the rows

Any insights to the best approach to this would be very appreciated.

My Background
I have been a mainframe develper for 25+ years and just 6 months ago was asked to support an internal web application in ASP using MS SQL Server. I knew NOTHING of HTML, ASP, Javascript and web applications and am learning as I go and still doing my mainframe work along with this. Because of this I'm missing MANY basic concepts and I'm sure this issue probably refers to some basic understanding I lack.  I just joined EE as a premium member as I need to find the best and fastest means to learn. Be kind.  

Thanks
Bill
